Preventing pain after hand surgery nerve block
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This study tests a way to prevent pain that can come back after the numbing effect of a nerve block wears off following hand surgery. It aims to keep you comfortable longer with a simple treatment.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 75 years old.
- You are having hand surgery that can be done with a numbing block in the armpit area (not general anesthesia).
- You are in generally stable health as assessed by your anesthesiologist (ASA I, II, or III).
- You are not allergic to paracetamol (Tylenol), dexamethasone (a steroid), or opioids (strong painkillers).
- You are willing to participate and can understand the study explanation.

This study tests whether adding dexmedetomidine or nalbuphine to a standard numbing medicine improves pain relief during and after upper arm or hand surgery. It aims to see which combination works better and lasts longer.
This study tests a treatment to stop pain from coming back after a nerve block wears off following arm or leg surgery. If you are having an outpatient or short-stay orthopedic procedure, this may help keep you comfortable after you go home.
This study tests whether adding an anti-inflammatory medicine (dexamethasone) to a numbing nerve block gives better pain relief after shoulder surgery. If you qualify, you might have less pain and need fewer painkillers after your operation.
This study tests whether adding different medications to a numbing injection can reduce pain that returns after the injection wears off. It may help people having surgery for a broken arm or hand.
This study tests whether adding a steroid medicine (dexamethasone) to a nerve block helps control pain better after arthroscopic shoulder surgery. The nerve block uses a sedative (dexmedetomidine) to numb the shoulder area, and the steroid may make the pain relief last longer.
This study tests whether adding a nerve block to general anesthesia improves pain control and recovery after arm or hand surgery. If you are having surgery on your arm, hand, or fingers, this may help you manage pain with fewer side effects.
